Around 21,700 Bitcoin options contracts will expire on Friday, Jan. 23, with a notional value of roughly $1.8 billion. This event is slightly smaller than last week’s, as derivatives trading remains sluggish.
Crypto markets have lost around $200 billion since the start of the week, amid escalating trade wars, Japanese bond turmoil, and delays in US crypto legislation.
Bitcoin Options Expiry
This week’s batch of Bitcoin options contracts has a put/call ratio of 0.75, meaning that there are more expiring calls (longs) than puts (shorts). Max pain is around $92,000, according to Coinglass, which is above current spot prices, so many will be out of the money on expiry.
Open interest (OI), or the value or number of Bitcoin options contracts yet to expire, remains highest at $100,000, which has $2 billion at this strike price on Deribit. There remains around $1.1 billion in OI at $85,000 and $90,000, as bearish bets mount.
